Foundation Portfolio

LO
To develop technical skills in camera and lighting
To refine understanding of the connotations of certain shots through analysis of images To present and assess your individual FP (Foundation Portfolio) proposals

Success Criteria
All: will participate in filming exercises, use camera methodically and steadily and comment on denotations and connotations of certain filmed images. They will involved in peer assessment and review their progress in the subject.

Most: will develop technical skills with camera and natural lighting and improve understanding of their use. They will also present and assess projects and contribute to the development of one or more of them.

Some: will experiment further technically with focus and angle and the reasons for their usage enhancing their learning through additional reflection. They will present and assess and make valuable contributions to the development of the projects proposed.

basic camera shots

Exercise One Camera basics

investigation

Why is it important to take time and care when setting up your shots? Setting up simple shots with a tripod Understanding the reasons for disciplines camera protocol

Shots
Each group must film:

5-10 secs of each shot

LS MLS MS MCU CU ECU

For this first exercise two groups will film in the classroom and two

Task
actualisation
Working in team of 3 or 4 set up to film two people at a table facing each other. Ensure that the camera is secure Ensure that the tripod is level Decide on the size of shot, eye-line, angle and distance from lens to subject
wide and long shot are interchangeable terms

Discussion
reflection

Open observations - two minutes to discuss what you observed

Analysis
reflection

Does the subjects relative size change our response to them? How is the background affected by the choice of shot size? Why might it be important to choose certain sizes of shot?

What is the impact of a BCU compared to a MS?

Lighting
Low Key and High Key Lighting

Investigate

Where are the light sources?

What is the effect?

High Key
what are the major differences between low and high key?

Task 2 - Lighting
Working with lights
health and safety

What rule do you think might apply to working with lights?

Why is it important to adhere to these?

Decide on one person in your group who will take responsibility for lighting.

Task
experiment
Experiment with lighting 1 person in MCU at a table Use natural light from the window and any suitable means to restrict it in order to change what the camera sees. Introduce the handheld lights to see if they make a difference.

HOME LEARNINGB 1
Reflect on the processes of the camera and lighting workshop within a post on your blog.

You MUST detail what you did, how you did it and what you have come to understand through the process.
Identify for yourself some important rules and tips - think especially about how the manual exposure feature changed the look - you will need to remember this.

Home Learning 2 Presentations

Complete your preparations for the presentations. Ensure that they have all the elements required - you do not have to use powerpoint as long as you make the presentation visual. Create a questionnaire about your film presentation which your colleagues will be able to use to assess you in class on Friday.

Creating a Questionnaire
using google docs create a survey to gauge interest in your movie pitch use one of the questionnaire templates edit the doc changing the questions etc.

Focus on
a) your skills in presenting b) the movie pitch and how it appeals to the target audience c) whether the opening is achievable, what production challenges there are, how you might improve the ideas
